After an initial professional stage at Merrill Lynch, where she consolidated her expertise in finance and analysis, she redirected her career towards the film industry, specialising in marketing and international distribution.

Before joining Protagonist Pictures as Director of Sales for Protagonist PICKS and Library, she worked as a sales agent at Wide Management (Paris) and as Festival Director at Films Boutique (Berlin). She has also collaborated with European and Latin American institutions in the financing, mentoring and support of projects in development, work-in-progress programmes and production labs.

Her work combines a creative perspective with a strong understanding of the industrial and cultural circuits of contemporary cinema.

She has served as a jury member, advisor and committee member on production funding panels for the ICAA, the Government of the Canary Islands, the Valencian Institute of Culture and the World Cinema Fund. She has also participated in international festivals and industry forums such as Berlinale, Torino, Chicago, Tallinn Black Nights, Palm Springs, FICValdivia, D’A Festival and New Horizons.
